+* Support for remote debugging Windows and SymbianOS shared libraries
+ from Unix hosts has been improved. Non Windows GDB builds now can
+ understand target reported file names that follow MS-DOS based file
+ system semantics, such as file names that include drive letters and
+ use the backslash character as directory separator. This makes it
+ possible to transparently use the "set sysroot" and "set
+ solib-search-path" on Unix hosts to point as host copies of the
+ target's shared libraries. See the new command "set
+ target-file-system-kind" described below, and the "Commands to
+ specify files" section in the user manual for more information.

+ Set or show the assumed file system kind for target reported file
